Help[Opinions] Re: Conor
in reply to a message by Bear
Thanks!
I saw what you were saying about Conor / Connor and I agree. I used to not even know Conor was a legitimate spelling (everyone seems to spell it Connor here. Even my spell check puts a red line under Conor, but not Connor). I did have one terrible teacher named Mrs. O'Conner and I was wise enough even in elementary school to know Conner was a dumb spelling.
I like quite a few of your suggestions!
The ones popping out at me right now:
Conor Finlay -Finley is my favourite name ever (that spelling only because in Southern America, I trust no one to pronounce Finlay correctly.)
Conor Matthias
Conor Patrick
Conor Elias -Are the mixed cultures too much because I like how this flows?
Conor Niall ("nile")
Conor Edmund -Edmund has been growing on me lately too. I feel like my hipster friends are rubbing off on me.
Conor Ambrose / Emrys -♥
Conor Seamus
Siblings:
Conor and Desmond
Conor and Lucas
Conor and Malcolm
Conor and Eli
Conor and Max -cute! ♥
Conor and Julia
Conor and Margaret / Mairead
Conor and Isla
Conor Oberst's brothers are Justin and Matthew and I feel like he got the best name of the three. His cousins are named Ian and Colin though, Their parents had better naming taste.

But Finlay is so perfect as is. (pouts) In the mn position, you don't think it's worth a more authentic spelling? How much trouble could the "-lay" ending cause there? It would be like setting an emerald (Conor) in a fake gold setting (Finley).
I love mixing cultures in combos. The Irish do it all the time. I love watching movie credits to cull for interesting names. Consolata Boyle is listed many times in movies filmed in Ireland. She's a costume designer, I think. Anyway, how romantic is that, Consolata Boyle? I know that's a fn / surname example, not a fn / mn one, but the effect is the same, to me. Others: Eamonn de Valera, Soledad O'Brien. So float away with Conor Elias -- he's a dreamboat.
Go, hipster friends, go!
Conor and Max do seem like brothers, don't they?
